Engine will turn but won't start unless you try for 10-15 times! It happens when you park the car for 6 hrs or more. But this doesn't happen always, it happened only 2 times in 1 month.
Any ideas?
My fuel pump, fuel filter, coil pack, spark plugs, are all new.

Battery is only 6 months old. I'm not suspecting the battery because the engine turns and the sound of the turn is fine (not weak).

What about the leads have you check them?
When was it last serviced?

Actually, we don't have a cold climate in Egypt now! It is 30C in the morning!

Spark plugs extensions have been replaced with the coil 2 months ago.

Could the MAP sensor make such an issue?

Today it happened when the car was not cold. I tried to turn the engine, but it didn't turn after several trials. So I tried an old MAP sensor, lucky it worked! Sounds that the problem has been sorted. Will need to test again for more few days.
